The Midnight Tour (The Beast House Chronicles, #3) by Richard Laymon

My thoughts: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I don't mind this series (despite the overtly gory nature!)

Which kind of magicians, exactly?"


An old, alcoholic, and perhaps mad magician and his young nephew and best friend who come to the mad man's estate, (Shadowland) for the summer to apprentice.

Oooh, I actually have that T.M. Wright book as well as a beautiful copy of Strange Seed, both of which I haven't read. Yet.

Char | 17457 comments I was able to pick up a signed, limited edition of Strange Seed at my second Merrimack Valley Halloween Bookfest in Haverhill, MA.
And there it sits on the shelf, calling to me.

And, yeah. I recently reread Shadowland, and in my opinion, the book still holds up after all this time.

Russell James delivers a suspenseful page turner. Great story, great characters. One of those books that keeps you well and truly hooked from beginning to end.

Brandy | 6 comments Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

Just finished this. It was pretty good. 4 stars. More grief/loss focused with horror aspects but I didn't mind. It was an enjoyable read (as much as anything about grief can be enjoyable).

shirley jackson's prose is just amazing, but the stories themselves keep falling flat for me. enjoyed this one more than the haunting of hill house tho.

Christopher Conlon (goodreadscomchristopherconlon) | 530 comments The Walking by Bentley Little
The Walking
This is a novel that started extremely well, with excellent characterization and atmosphere, but it steadily lost altitude as it went along until it reached an ending that was downright...well...dumb.

Ozsaur | 24 comments The Clackity - middle grade horror. Fun creepy vibe, but not particularly scary. Enjoyed it!

I'll have to consider that one. I think a pb of it is on one of my shelves.

A few days ago I started Just Like Home and then my reading time dried up. I hope to dive in further this weekend.

Ian (RebelGeek) Seal (rebel-geek) | 426 comments The Midwives 4 stars


message 390: by Ian (last edited Aug 27, 2022 02:35AM) (new)

Ian Thoroughly enjoying the vibes given by Duncan Ralston’s ‘The Midwives’. At 80% now and hoping for a big finish to complete this great ‘wicked witches’ adventure. Keep thinking ‘Salem’ for some reason.

Also love the psychopath character that been thrown into the mix for good measure, and his ‘Southern States accent’ is just a pleasure to read. Just hoping that we are treated to a sensible ending regarding this crazy guy, and given nothing too unbelievably corny to spoil the whole illusion.

Should be done by the end of the weekend.

Ozsaur | 24 comments Blackwater - fun horror-ish graphic novel. I enjoyed it, others might find the format off-putting. Two artists alternate between chapters. Good queer, and disability rep.
